Parkland school allows student visits ahead of classes resuming

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School will reopen to students Sunday for the first time since 17 students and faculty members were killed.

The Parkland, Fla., school will receive the teenagers and their parents from 3 to 6 p.m., the Miami Herald reports.

Teachers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School return:

“You can think about that as like an open house,” Robert Runcie, superintendent for Broward County Schools, told reporters in South Florida. “Where we’ll allow students to come back and look at any schedule changes they may have and ask for any services they may need, any accommodations.”

Classes are set to begin on Wednesday, two weeks to the day since gunman Nikolas Cruz shot up the high school.

Teachers returned to the school late last week to prepare for the reopening.

They’ll continue getting ready for a return to operations on Monday and Tuesday, the Miami Herald reported.

The portion of Douglas High School where Cruz unloaded his AR-15 will remain closed indefinitely.

School officials have mulled demolishing the structure altogether, and last week requested $28.5 million from the state to replace the building.
